NASB | 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:2 Beloved, we are [even here and] now children of God, and it is not yet made clear what we will be [after His coming]. We know that when He comes and is revealed, we will [as His children] be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is [in all His glory]. |
Bible Question (short): Will God forgive me? |
Question (full): Will God forgive me? Normally, I wouldn't feel the need to ask this question because I believe that God is a loving forgiving God. However, this time scares me because my reason for asking comes from the Bible. In Hebrews chapter 6, it says that it is impossible for those who have fallen away to come back to repentance. I read that verse about a week ago and it's really been stuck in my mind creating fear. Yesterday, in my mind, I said that I no longer believed in God. Then, almost immediately after, I was like 'Wait, YES I DO!'. The scary thing is that for those few short seconds, I think I really meant it. I'd like to think that God would forgive this shirt period of unbelief, however, I do believe God's word to be 100 percent true and it says that it is impossible to come back after falling away. Am I understanding this correctly? Also, how does this passage fit with the parable of the lost son where though the son walked away and lived for himself, when he went back, the father welcomed him home with open arms? I am so confused...and scared right now. Up to this point in my life, I have been loving God and even working some in the church, but now I feel like I can no longer worship God like I love to do. |
